Green smoke wreathed in Sky Clinic. The scowling face on the good-evil tripod had been glaring at Sun Lanxiang for a long time. It was upsetting to be glared at by a person for some time, let alone a face on a tripod. It felt terrifying, although only Sun Lanxiang would know that feeling. By the time Ning Tao returned to the clinic, Sun Lanxiang who hated him to the core, was already sobbing, apparently very agitated.

Ning Tao walked over and pulled out the worn cloth gagging Sun Lanxiang’s mouth.

“Gasp…” Sun Lanxiang heaved a long sigh. Then she asked quickly, “Quick, quick, take me out of this place!”

Ning Tao asked slowly, “Where to?”

“To…” Sun Lanxiang’s response was very fast. “Release me of course!”

“Release you? Why?” Ning Tao pretended to be confused.

Sun Lanxiang had an impulse to kick Ning Tao’s face, but she endured it. “What you are doing is unlawful, you know that? I believe my grandfather and those men from Genesis Biotech Company have already called the police. Do you want to be a kidnapper? Your future will be ruined.”

Ning Tao nodded. “You’re right. If I were to keep you here, wouldn’t I be a kidnapper? My future would be ruined too. So what should l I do?”

Sun Lanxiang persuaded him earnestly, “Release me. I will pretend nothing has happened, nor will my grandfather and I avenge ourselves. You’re a smart guy, you ought to know the outcome of a kidnap. Not only will the police be after you, the Genesis Biotech Company will also send men to rescue me. Can you fight them all?”

Ning Tao suddenly slapped Sun Lanxiang’s head. “You think I’m a three-year-old kid? Call the police? If I had broken the law, you and that blind grandfather of yours would have been beheaded during the Qing Dynasty! And if I dare to bring you here, I won’t be afraid of someone coming to rescue you. I will just capture whoever shows up!”

Sun Lanxiang glared angrily at Ning Tao. For centuries since the Qing Dynasty, no one have dared to slap her head. But Ning Tao did. He did not show her any respect at all.

“Still glaring at me?” Ning Tao waved his hand and smacked again.

This time, he had smacked not her head but her bottom. Sun Lanxiang was bound by the herb-collecting rope, curling like a shrimp on the ground. Her butt was also protruding in a posture ready to be smacked. It was impossible to escape.

There was a crisp sound, as lovely ripples undulated on Sun Lanxiang’s protruding butt. Although the comparison might seem exaggerated, the tremors and juddering resembled a finger flicking a fruit jelly. It exuded a very bizarre allure.

But why would anyone smack her bottom?

Even Ning Tao himself did not know the answer. He was staring at Sun Lanxiang’s protruding butt and so decided to give it a convenient smack. The little guilt he felt was instantly overcome by the wonderful sensation of that physical smack.

“You—” Murderous hatred gleamed from Sun Lanxiang’s eyes, but she swallowed her curses.

One has to bow if one is under another’s control. She was from the Qing Dynasty and had lived for a long time. She understood the severe consequences of a reckless action.

Ning Tao said, “Still glaring at me?”

Sun Lanxiang shut her eyes. She feared she could not hide the murderous light in her eyes, and would invite fresh insults.

Ning Tao said blandly, “As a human being, you must put yourself in someone else’s shoes. You and your blind grandfather first lied to me, then tried to kill me. If I were to fall into your hands, you would have used torture on me by now. Once you seize my elixir prescription, you two will kill to silence me, right?”

Sun Lanxiang opened her eyes again and stared at Ning Tao. Although she would not admit it, she had to agree every word he said was true. If Ning Tao were to fall in their hands, they must be preparing a hot iron to brand him. Once they had what they wanted, would they let him live? No, absolutely not. She would have cut his throat in one stroke.

A faint smile hovered on Ning Tao’s lips. “Aren’t you touched by what I’ve said?”

Sun Lanxiang did not answer. She felt Ning Tao to be not quite right. He seemed to have turned into another person.

Ning Tao opened his small medicine chest and took out an erroneous plucking talisman. He smiled. “No, I won’t be rough on you. But I know a way to make you talk. My self-developed plucking talisman can undress a woman. Wanna try?”

Saying that, he pasted the erroneous plucking talisman on Sun Lanxiang’s chest.

“No! You bastard!” Sun Lanxiang twisted her body, trying to dodge. But she could not. Ning Tao’s hand reached out and that plucking talisman was already pasted on her bust.

But Ning Tao did not immediately strip her naked. Instead, he pulled out an authentic plucking talisman from his small medicine chest. He said, “This is the authentic plucking talisman. It can draw out viruses and toxins from your body. I can then transfer all the fat from your butt to your face. Your butt’s quite fleshy. If I do that, your looks will surely improve. Wanna try?”

“Shut up!” Sun Lanxiang was almost mad with rage.

Ning Tao reached out his hand and pasted the authentic plucking talisman on Sun Lanxiang’s face. Then, he injected spiritual power to activate the talisman, transferring fats from her butt to her face.

“Don’t! Don’t…” Sun Lanxiang was tense and completely awake. She not only could feel clearly the fats from her butt getting transferred to her face, she could also see her fleshy butt shrinking.

Which woman didn’t want to look good? How would she look after transferring all the fat from her butt to her face? Just imagining it would have made her hysterical, let alone seeing it in real life.

Ning Tao smiled cheekily and said, “If a woman says no, she really means yes, right? Would you like to try my newly developed plucking talisman?”

“No…”

“You must mean yes.” Ning Tao put down the authentic plucking talisman and grabbed the erroneous one, injecting spiritual power to activate it. Then he gingerly pulled it upwards.

Sun Lanxiang could clearly see her clothes disintegrating, getting sucked into the erroneous plucking talisman. Large areas of her snowy-white skin were now exposed to the air. She went hysterical and screamed, “You crazy man! Bastard! What do you really want?”

Ning Tao released his hand and his expression turned solemn. “You know what I want. You and your grandfather are core members of the Genesis Biotech Company. You must know the elixir prescription of that company. Write it down for me. And tell me everything you know about Wu Yue!”

“I know nothing!” Sun Lanxiang sounded grimly determined.

Ning Tao’s hand suddenly reached out and pulled up.

Whoosh! For a second, she had turned into a naked goat.

Even the herb-collecting rope had unraveled. This meant Sun Lanxiang had been unbound. In that instant, Sun Lanxiang suddenly aimed a kick at Ning Tao’s chest.

Ning Tao did not dodge.

Thump!

Sun Lanxiang’s shoeless foot kicked heavily on Ning Tao’s chest. Since she was fuming, she had used all her force in this kick. Ning Tao flew into the air, crashing heavily onto the ground.

Sun Lanxiang leaped up and prepared to kill him.

Dong!

A toll from the tripod.

“Ptooey!” Sun Lanxiang spat out a mouthful of blood. Her erect body seemed to have been crushed by a mountain and she reeled. This time, the pain was harder to bear than even death. She could not kill Ning Tao cruelly, nor could she move even a finger.

This was a pit Ning Tao had dug for her.

Attacking the owner of Sky Clinic inside the clinic would be looking for trouble. The good-evil tripod was scowling but could not act due to the laws of the clinic. She had given it a chance to attack.

In Sky Clinic, the good-evil tripod would only mildly suppress a person and not strike him directly unless his sins of evil intention had reached a certain level. Once his sins of evil intention surpassed a certain limit, his entry would incur brutal oppression. Qing Zhui was the living example of this. In the beginning, she did not dare even to enter Sky Clinic. But since her charity works in Shu Province, she could. She only felt a mild discomfort, but the oppression was a light one. After her trip to Africa, the good-evil tripod had even started to smile faintly at her.

Ning Tao crawled up from the ground and walked slowly towards Sun Lanxiang. As he walked, he said, “Look, I’m not lying, am I? If it had been you, you would have acted even more brutally. Your desire to kill me is utterly resolute.”

“Kill… me… then!” Sun Lanxiang uttered these hateful words through gnashed teeth. Her deep, irresolvable hatred could be heard in every syllable.

Ning Tao stopped beside Sun Lanxiang, trying to maintain a correct viewing position. “This time, both the Black Fire Company and your Genesis Biotech Company are going all out. One has captured my friend, abducted him to coerce me. How can you people do that? They’re ordinary folks.”

“None… of our… business!”

“Your men are not much better! First you lied to me, then tried to kill me. Wasn’t Yin Molan also captured by you guys as a hostage?” Ning Tao’s voice had turned cold. “Like I have said, you people have no limits. So I won’t have one too. Do you understand what I mean by these words? If you continue adopting this attitude, I can guarantee your sufferings will be 10 times worse than what you’ve been undergoing now!”

A flicker of terror flashed across Sun Lanxiang’s eyes. She said with a trembling voice, “You… vicious… devil!”

Ning Tao snickered. “I do have a demonic side, and you have awakened it. Let me ask you again: will you write out the elixir prescription? Will you tell me what you know about Wu Yue?”

Sun Lanxiang’s eyes sparkled, as she endured the painful oppression from the good-evil tripod. At this moment, she encountered the most difficult and painful decision of her life.

Ning Tao squatted down, his hand grasping the authentic plucking talisman on her face. His spiritual power activated it and the fats from her butt were transferring to her face, bit by bit.

The whole process was clearly discernible.

“I’ll… talk!” Sun Lanxiang’s psychological defense had been breached. She snarled, “Stop now!”

Everyone had a vulnerable side. It really depended on whom he or she was showing it.
